A long whistle echoed.
Xu Yingying opened her cherry-like mouth, emitting a clear and melodious whistle that soared straight into the clouds.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, meeting her excited gaze as she opened her eyes: “Congratulations.”
Xu Yingying excitedly said, "That's amazing!"
She sized up Chu Zhiyuan, as if looking at a precious treasure: “Even better than the Myriad Spirit Pearl!”
“Yingying!” Xu Suying flashed into existence, saying in a deep voice: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xu Yingying laughed: “I’m telling the truth, he really is better than the Myriad Spirit Pearl.” She continued, tilting her head: “If it were the Myriad Spirit Pearl, I wouldn’t have broken through so quickly.” Chu Zhiyuan smiled: “That Heavenly Sesame Jade Building Pill wasn’t given in vain, right?”
“Here, take it.”
Xu Yingying took out the jade bottle from her bosom and tossed it to Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan caught it, opened it and took a look, it was snow-white and flawless, with a faint fragrance that was barely discernible.
As soon as this fragrance entered his nose, his spirit was immediately refreshed, and he knew that it was extraordinarily wondrous.
“With this, you can break through another level.”
Chu Zhiyuan immediately laughed.
He wasn't at the first or second level, but at the eighth level.
At this realm, wanting to advance another level was dozens of times more difficult than advancing from the first to the second level.
If he were at the first level, taking a spiritual pill might allow him to break through directly to the second level.
That was impossible now.
“You don’t believe me?”
“It’s not that I’m afraid you’ll harm me, I never break through in unfamiliar places, if I'm not in a good mood, it will have an impact.”
“You’re still shy, interesting,” Xu Yingying laughed: “Alright then, you can take it back and try… Next time, what do you want?”
“Strengthening the meridians is enough.” Chu Zhiyuan said: “Help me find some miraculous techniques and secret arts.”
“What miraculous techniques?”
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Miraculous techniques about body refinement, most of them have been lost now.”
Within the Bright Martial Hall, the only true top-notch body refinement technique was inherited by the Dragon Subduing Sect, there was nothing else.
He wanted to push the fifth layer of the Dragon Transformation Art, the Refining Membrane, faster, but this realm had been unable to advance for a long time.
He finally understood now, no wonder the Dragon Subduing Scripture had its inheritance broken, and no wonder body refinement techniques were eliminated, it was really too difficult to progress.
Without the dragon bones, dragon pearls, dragon blood stones, and dragon grease incense to push it forward, he would probably still be lingering on the first level.
“Body refinement technique? You want to refine your body? Or else I’ll give you a spiritual pill, a body refinement spiritual pill.”
“What spiritual pill, what grade?”
“Purified Brightness Pill, second grade, how is it?” Xu Yingying said: “This is extremely powerful, it can purify the body, making the body clearer, lighter, and more precise.”
Chu Zhiyuan slowly said: “Second grade pills are too weak, I want a first grade.”
“You’re too greedy, aren’t you?” Xu Yingying scolded, her sweet big eyes glaring at him in dissatisfaction.
Chu Zhiyuan said: “I’ve already taken the Mortal Shedding Pill, the effect of ordinary spiritual pills is very weak now.”
“You actually obtained the Mortal Shedding Pill?” Xu Yingying was greatly surprised.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: “It seems that Miss Xu doesn’t understand my recent developments, I have made some great achievements.”
Xu Yingying looked at Xu Suying.
Xu Suying nodded slightly: “The Heir has indeed done a lot of great things recently.”
“You’ve developed such a big appetite, actually wanting a first grade spiritual pill!”
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “Comprehending it once, advancing one level, how many spiritual pills does this save? Just a first grade spiritual pill, Miss Xu, I think I’m generous enough.”
“Well, if you put it that way, then it’s not too much.” Xu Yingying tilted her head and thought, nodding: “Alright then, first grade it is, what kind of spiritual pill do you want?”
She didn’t really have any concept of spiritual pills, anyway, she never lacked them, she could have whatever she wanted.
But her divine art, in the later stages, could only rely on self-enlightenment, the external effects of spiritual pills and natural treasures were limited.
The Myriad Spirit Pearl was of utmost importance.
Compared to the Myriad Spirit Pearl, these spiritual pills were indeed not worth mentioning.
Chu Zhiyuan said: “Then it’ll be a body refinement spiritual pill.”
“The Purified Brightness Pill is actually pretty good.”
“First grade.”
“... Alright then, a first grade body refinement spiritual pill, that would be the Purified Splendor Pill, right?”
Xu Suying revealed a smile: “The Purified Splendor Pill is indeed good, its effects are stronger than the Purified Brightness Pill.
“Good.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “Then we’ll exchange it for the Purified Splendor Pill next time, … When will you advance to the next realm?”
“A month later, maybe.” Xu Yingying’s big eyes flashed, saying with certainty: “A month is enough.”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: “A month, indeed not bad, then let’s meet again in a month.”
“Don’t you want to spar with swordsmanship?” Xu Yingying hurriedly said.
She had always been thinking about comparing swords with Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile: “In terms of swordsmanship, you are far inferior.”
“Hmph!” Xu Yingying was immediately dissatisfied: “Exaggerating, who is far inferior, how would you know without comparing, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.” Chu Zhiyuan said: “The Nine Li Divine Sect’s swordsmanship is the Nine Li Divine Sword?”
“That’s right.”
“Then forget it, by the way, I have good news to tell Miss Xu.” Xu Yingying’s big eyes stared at him.
“My Heir Consort has already become the Holy Maiden of the Moon Invitation Palace, and will be visiting your Nine Li Divine Sect.”
“Hmm —?” Xu Yingying blinked her big eyes, looking dazed.
Xu Suying hurriedly said: “Miss Xiao has become the Holy Maiden of the Moon Invitation Palace?”
Chu Zhiyuan then explained the real situation, causing Xu Yingying’s eyes to widen even more.
Xu Suying looked at him with emotion.
“Your wife is actually going to be the Holy Maiden of that group of lunatics from the Moon Invitation Palace?!” Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.
Telling her this news was to further understand the Moon Invitation Palace.
He couldn’t get it from the imperial court’s information, and what Xiao Ruoling saw was too narrow.
He wanted to see the Moon Invitation Palace from more perspectives, to find out what kind of place the Moon Invitation Palace really was.
“Chu Zhiyuan, you should quickly let your Heir Consort go back.”
“Yingying.”
“Master, I didn’t say anything wrong.”
“Why do you say they are lunatics? Is it because they are unreasonable, or because they act rampantly?”
“They are too vicious, they kill without batting an eye.”
“Oh —?” Chu Zhiyuan was surprised: “The Moon Invitation Palace kills innocent people indiscriminately?”
“.... It’s not that they are innocent, it’s just that there’s no need to kill people.” Xu Yingying snorted: “They are too fierce, they kill people at the slightest provocation, those who can be killed or not, they will definitely kill, not forgiving at all.”
“For example?”
“Like those who steal other people’s things, it’s enough to teach them a lesson, it’s not a capital crime, but they kill them directly when they encounter them.”
“Stealing what things?”
“Clothes, jewelry, and some food and drinks, in short, although these guys are bad, there’s no need to kill them.”
“What else?”
“They also find fault with our Nine Li Divine Sect disciples, and teach our Nine Li Divine Sect disciples at every turn.”
“Did the Nine Li Divine Sect disciples offend them?”
“They have offended them, but they are too vengeful, they always find trouble with our Nine Li Divine Sect, endlessly, it’s annoying.” Chu Zhiyuan stroked his chin, pondering silently.
“Isn’t that enough?” Seeing him like this, Xu Yingying said dissatisfied: “Don’t you think they are lunatics?”
“I guess so.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Xu Yingying glared at him and said: “I knew it, now that your woman has become a Holy Maiden, you’re biased towards them.” Chu Zhiyuan laughed: “Then I’ll take my leave, see you in a month.”
After he said that, he walked out.
Xu Yingying followed him out, came to the gate of the manor, waved her hand and said: “I’ll be staying here these days, if you have time you can come over to play, and compare swordsmanship.”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: “Next time we compare swordsmanship, I’ll let you know how bad your swordsmanship is.”
Xu Yingying curled her lips, took out a small jade bottle from her bosom, and threw it to him: “Here, this is the Purified Splendor Pill, I’ll give it to you first, you’re not allowed to go back on your word.”
“Smart!” Chu Zhiyuan caught it and glanced at it, immediately smiling, clasping his fist in salute: “Then we’ll meet again!”
He mounted the Heavenly Dragon Divine Steed, turning into two golden streaks of light and leaving.
